This woman does things to my frontal lobe. Read what LaShawn Barber has written about Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa: a Holiday from the FBI
I know, it is politically incorrect to point out these issues, but Ann Coulter explains the background of Kwanzaa and the traditions thereof. Click here.

Rest in Peace, Mudbone Johnny
Very sad to learn of the death of local musician and all around great guy John "Mudbone" Dieckman. John played guitar and pedal-steel with many local bands, and I knew him best from his days with Kenny Gunn and The Pistols. Who can ever forget The Drunker I Get, The Better They Look, John's stirring version of Tulsa Time or the whimsical Crabs? John also loved softball and was a free spirit. I remember one sultry summer day in the late 1970's when a bunch of us teens were playing a pickup baseball at the field between Kenmore East and Brighton. It was one of those scorchers where the weather guys were telling people not to exert themselves too much, and a dust-devil or two swirled down Eggert Road. I looked up through the dripping perspiration and saw John in the distance running down Eggert RD from his apartment several miles away. That was John, exerting himself. Back in the day John wore his hair long and had a very 70's mustache. Combined with his gigantic frame the whole look was quite imposing. He was larger than life.
Fast forward to 2008...
John was very fond of my father, and his dad and mine were in the same nursing facility. Mudbone would stop by and talk with my dad for hours. My brother Dick and I thanked him profusely, and John said "Don't thank me! I enjoyed it!" This past summer our fathers died within days of each other, and we were able to offer solace to one another. Three months later and now John is gone. He will be missed by legions of people whose lives he touched.
Deepest sympathies to the Dieckman family.
Thanks for sharing John with the rest of us.
Photo is ca. 1979

A Great American Needs Your Prayers
This man is the walking definition of grace and class. In our lawsuit lottery culture, this Korean immigrant radiates true dignity.

Thank you very much for your generosity at the SPCA Serving Erie County. A special commendation to those of you who stood in line for Mike Hudson. There was no complaining. Just patience. And thanks to Mr. Hudson, who donated thousands of dollars from his book Mob Boss. These events are always somewhat chaotic. Thank you for your understanding!

Obama Birth Flap in Sixty Seconds
Please send THIS to everyone you know. If The One is legitimate, fine. If not, he must not take office. Insert the name George Bush instead of Obama, and media would be having kittens. |
Obama the Kenyan?
If we are willing to look the other way with some parts of our constitution, why not just junk the whole document? If the "president-elect" is legit, why not simply provide the real documentation?
Obama Birth Certificate Rears Its Head - Again
And wait! Is Hillary Rodham Clinton allowed to become Secretary of State?
Here's what the consitution (remember that?) says:
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
It pains me, but the LA Times offers a "workaround."

LOL at Buffalo (Liberal) News Headline
"Clinton's ascent is applauded left to right. Across political spectrum, she's called a fine fit at State."
I call BS!

Irv, Rick and Tom Rap!
From 1987. The anchors of local TV news for a generation, along with Mary McCombs and Mike Randall. This "ancient video" really captures the spirit of an era in Buffalo broadcasting. Oh, and check out my brother Dick, a member of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame. He now plays with Joyryde.

Islamic Terror Threat Just a Paranoid Neocon Illusion?
And people who talk about it are simply filled with "hate-speech," "bigotry" and "intolerance." If I were a muslim terrorist, I'd be very happy with the idea that my targets would rather be politically correct than alive. What happened in India will happen here, and when it does please ask the politically-correct crowd how that whole "let's have the police arrest them!" thing worked out. Still think we don't need Gitmo?

Shocking Hate Speech!
In today's column in the Buffalo News, failed sportswriter Alan Pergament spends a lot of time congratulating himself for his column in which he chastised Sandy Beach and me. His "edited" selection of reader letters congratulate the wanna-be sportswriter for his brilliance in attacking us.
For a newspaper which has berated Sandy and me for being uncivil and mean-spirited, I am shocked (shocked, I tell you!) at the venom and hate-speech directed against us by this paragon of fair play.
Typical liberals. Diversity of opinion is wonderful as long as conservatives shut up.
Maybe we do need a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Buffalo News. This sorry paper keeps losing readership, increasing ad rates, endorsing politicians who've ruined us and excoriating those who don't buy into failed liberal ideas.
I'm almost glad the homeless use its front entrance as a.....well...you get the picture. It fits.
